BackPack Archery Elk Camp Setup locations

[Gregt9146]

I know there is lots to think about on where to set up camp after a day's hunt, but is it better camp at higher elevation/tops or is best to set up in lower elevations due to morning thermals? I think higher better personally as long as you understand what the thermals and prevailing winds are going to be doing over night, but my brother thinks lower is better. I know there is more to than that but that is the focal point right now of our. discussions. Thoughts?

I prioritize camp like this;
Close to a Water source
Not close to a spot the elk are using- about 1/2 mile away minimum preferably
Sheltered/protected from the wind
No widow makers

But sometimes you have to take what you can get....
